No sound over HDMI [solved]

Ah, I had not realized it had already become official! In that case, no problem. Although, I would still be interested to know what you think of my edid dump, since I am having to use the audio force option? I mean, my device clearly does DD and DTS, so why is it only showing 8 ch audio in TV Service without the extra option?

What's the problem? The hdmi_force_edid_audio option has been supported in official start.elf on github for a coupld of weeks.

Unfortunately, Dom, I can't find where it is documented in the Wiki - not in Troubleshooting, nor in the config.txt - those are the two places I go to look first. It may get mentioned somewhere in the fora, but it's pretty hard to read that whole thing.

And I don't have alsa .wav outout over hdmi right now, although it used to work some days ago... The hello_audio works both ways, and alsa aplay outputs to the analog jack. I'm mystified, because I haven't seen any changes to the alsa driver recently, and we never know what changes in start.elf files - which I update fairly regularly.

I suddenly can't get audio to work over HDMI anymore It used to work perfect for months and since about 1 week it doesn't work anymore TV type is a JVC LT-32A70BU.I've tried everything mentioned above (hdmi_drive=2,...) but nothing helps.I've used an SD card with Raspbian (with omxplayer -o hdmi) and another with Raspbmc image in both cases no sound over HDMI.I've tried on another TV and there is works perfect Replaced HDMI cable but still no sound...I don't think the TV is in DVI mode because then it's supposed to take sound from the EXT3 analog input and it doesn't do that either.

Having the same HDMI sound problem after trying all the config options posted. I have successfully shown that the pi can drive HDMI in a test using /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_audio/hello_audio.bin 1 which works. But no other sound seems to work with HDMI, incuding:sudo aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wavAnalogue tests work fine. Target device is a TV rather than monitor.I have tried to attach the EDID dump in case that helps but all extensions (including no extension) are rejected?

Just got new pi model b and going through demos. Couldn't get audio on hdmi .I fixed the problem by by editing config file - removed the # in front of the hdmi_drive=2.Thing not mentioned - had to re-boot the pi.New at this linux, but brings back memories of ms-dos commands!

I've the same problem, just bought Rapsberry Pi 2 model B and no sound using HDMI. I've tried normal tricks as using /boot/config.txt to force use of audio via hdmi, but no way. The monitor I'm using is a LG TV.Below the parsing of the dump obtained using the tvservice commandThanks in advance for your help

Something you can try:Disconnect the power from your TV for a few minutes and the plug it back in and try again.This solved a sound over HDMI problem for me a while ago, the problem was the TV not the configuration of the Raspberry. After a power reset it worked again.
